Cultivating companionship when you're feeling lonely is possible and essential.
About the Event
People the world over are experiencing an epidemic of loneliness. In the U.S., 1 in 5 of us report feeling lonely, and almost half of older adults are lonely on a regular basis. Loneliness hurts, and it can lead to depression, addiction, physical problems and other harmful consequences. You deserve connection! This webinar will help you learn:
- How to better understand your loneliness
- The important difference between isolation and solitude
- Practical suggestions for reclaiming community
- How to build meaningful connections that suit you
The presentation is based on “If You’re Lonely: Finding Your Way,” by Alan D. Wolfelt, Ph.D., director of the Center for Loss and Life Transition and a member of the faculty at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.
